Hanz on radar: Embracing the ‘soft life’ during mercury retrograde this January 9

Master Hanz Cua reveals how to navigate the Fire Horse conflict chi and why today is perfect for rest, reflection, and charm maintenance.

Today is for the ‘soft life’—rest, reflection, and lucky charm maintenance. Mercury Retrograde is still a thing, but the vibes are finally chilling out. For the Horse-born crew: steer clear of Rat symbols or Rat-born besties this weekend—the conflict chi is real. Stick with your day ones, aka Tigers and Dogs. The keyword for today? Energy cleansing.
